Frequently Asked Questions

The main purpose of this 8-K filing was to inform investors that ONEOK Inc. and ONEOK Partners, L.P. were scheduled to present at the Wells Fargo “Kick the Tires” Conference on June 4, 2013. This is a common practice to ensure broad and simultaneous dissemination of material information.

Regulation FD (Fair Disclosure) is an SEC rule designed to prevent selective disclosure of material nonpublic information. When a company files under Regulation FD, it means they are making information available to all investors at the same time, often through press releases or conference calls/presentations.

The filing states that a news release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference. Investors would need to locate this Exhibit 99.1, likely available through the SEC's EDGAR database or the company's investor relations website, to find the specific information shared at the conference.

This specific 8-K filing primarily serves as a notification of the company's participation in a conference. While the presentation made at the conference may have included updates on financial performance or operational data, the 8-K itself does not contain that detailed information beyond referencing the news release.
